Colourful Friday: Yellow

Since I was able to hold a pencil, my favourite colour has been yellow. Not that I walk around town dressed in yellow (especially not now we have moved from down town Amsterdam to a tiny conservative village) or drive a yellow car, or anything like that. I like yellow when it's used in a subtile way like the yellow Cole and Son "Cow Parsley" wallpaper. It combines so well with the white print, I will definately buy this for my study!
It's a shame the colour yellow is so disliked by the general public. I once held a 5 minute long speech to one of our design custumors about why I thought we should use yellow in their bedroom, and he looked at me as if I was going mental!

In the picture today: some of my favourite yellow objects.

Lamp Twiggy, by Marc Sadler for Foscarini, bowl Serious Busines by Scholten en Baijings, vintage melamine cups at Sweetlittle's on Etsy, Cow Parsley wallpaper by Cole and Son.

Daydreaming

One of the benefits of moving to a new place, is that you can go in a new direction interiorwise. Because we just moved from a small apartment to a huge house, our furniture is more or less drowning in the large rooms and I need to do some serious decorating . If only I had a budget without limits...

In my head I decorate the house over and over again, think of luxurious bedrooms, big woven rugs, fabulous furniture and lots of art and colour.
